Army of Darkness: The Fan Cut

As a big fan of AOD and the Evil Dead saga in general, I must say it's a delight to have this edition. Also, as a cinephile I find this edit very enjoyable, as I can get to watch all those tiny fragments/variations that didn't make it in original releases. The overall quality is no top of the line, but that doesn't bother me. I have my original BluRay of the movie. This edition, for me, is a way to watch the most complete version of all, so I don't miss a second of the original recordings.

So you're interested in a re-worked version of Army of Darkness, and you've come to the review page to find out if all of the changes worked for anybody other than the editor? I'm here to tell you, as a longtime fan of the flawed-but-enjoyable theatrical cut, that yes, Kult38 has compiled the the best version of the film that I have ever had the pleasure of watching. All of the decisions made were spot on, and the cuts were invisible. Since so many disparate sources were used, there is some inconsistency in the picture, but it wasn't terribly distracting considering this has never been a particularly polished looking film in the first place. You can finally get rid of all the different versions of of the film now; this is the only one you'll ever need.

i never really liked army of darkness as much as the other 2, i liked the remake more than it.

but this is a mighty fine fanedit, it all worked a lot better, this is what i should have seen in cinemas with my dad, i highly recommend this edit and if any one is a fan of evil dead you have to see this edit, it all worked so well and it is a much better version of the movie than any of the other cuts

its a must see.

i give it a 9/10 (original 5/10)

I'm a big 'Army of Darkness' fan, and I think you definitely nailed this. The mini Ash sequence is probably the best one I've seen. The new music fits in perfectly and the editing is seamless.

You've not added unnecessary scenes so it flows well and the pace is good. I think most
of the changes you've made are an improvement on what's already out there, so in that sense
it's great work.

My honest unbiased impression about this edit was "what if I watched all three evil dead films at once and wanted army of darkness to not feel so different than the other two" which honestly isn't a bad idea. The changes made in this make sense as the floor slipping and spatula in front of camera annoyed me too and always preffered the "I ain't that good" line. Alot of the other changes make sense w/ the pacing. WHether you,like it or hate it its another version to add with all the rest.
